Dear Blanket Angel,
I am an orphan.
I dream of so many things…
a family…
a mommy…
a daddy…
love…
food…
shoes…
and a blanket.
Oh how I would love these things!
But today, I am especially praying for a blanket.
Last night was cold.
I sleep on the dirt floor.
Sometimes it’s so cold
and I shiver a lot.
During rains, the floor becomes wet.
Rain enters our mud hut.
I don’t sleep on those wet nights.
I can’t.
The floor is hard
but I get so tired, sometimes I sleep anyway.
I wake with pain.
It’s not comfortable.
My list is long, I guess.
but I am writing to thank you
because I learned you make blankets for children like me.
I call you “My Blanket Angel”
and I pray that this year,
you will visit me.
With love,
God’s child
Kenya
